dnf failed

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I run dnf update.
At package 3935/4000, it failed, probably because a network issue
(timeout)
I am surprise than all the downloaded packages have be erased.
When I restarted dnf update, it restart from scratch.
Why?
It could have just restart and continue downloading the missing
65 packages!

Regards.

See "man dnf.conf"

Good news — once you have DNF updated to 1.0.2, this is fixed, and
partial downloads will be kept even if keepcache is turned off.
